Dragon Perches

Show off your dragons and have them defend your base the way you have always wanted to! Your dragons are able to be placed on three perches to guard and protect some of your islands after fully exploring those islands. When a dragon is placed on one of your perches, it will attack the enemy dragons who are trying to lay waste to your base! The perch will have different benefits and attack strengths depending on the type, rarity, and strength of the dragon you place on it!

Three perches are placed in three small islands. They can be upgraded and players can place dragons on them once they've fully explored the island. The dragon on the perch will attack incoming dragons and, depending on its rarity, add additional benefits to the towers placed on that island.

Here are the essential information you should know about perch:

Dragons that are stationed to perch will be unavailable for attack use and they will be taken out of your active dragon roster.

Dragons on perches will gain a small amount of experience for being on the perch daily.

Player can choose to feed the dragon which boosts attack damage for certain time.

Weaker perches won't be able to station powerful dragons but stronger perches will be able to. Upgrade your perch!

Perches don't have supershots.

Black pearls are required to build and upgrade the perch. Black Pearls will be available from Gold Chests (and soon from event prizes).

Each dragon confers bonus benefits to their island based on dragon type and rarity

Rare Dragons

No extra benefits

Dragons That Can't Be Placed On The Perch

Phweemp: Since it is an exceptionally unique dragon, it is currently incompatible due to animation. (It will wave Hi instead of attacking...)

Dragon Riders and Perch Dragons

Since the introduction of dragon riders in the game, they are able to be bonded to dragons and provide buffs to either the dragon they are bonded or the base when placed on a perch with their bonded dragons.

There are 2 types of Buff that a Dragon Rider provides to the base:

Tower Buff

Base Buff

Tower Buff - This pertains to buff related to specific towers or all the towers (Increase Ice Turret HP or Tower ATK). It only affects towers covered by the Perch building

Base Buff - This pertains to non Tower related buff like Increased Lumber Capacity, Reduced Research Time, Reduced Upgrade Time etc. Covers the entire base. However, only the highest buff % is used while the rest are grayed out (ie. 12% Upgrade Reduction vs 10% Upgrade Reduction. It will use 12% while the 10% is grayed out)

Perch Coverage

What's the meaning behind the icons beside the perch covers

Sorcerer Dragon is placed

That provides the following buff (Element is based on Dragon element. Buff shown is of Mythic Rarity or remove the bottom buff for Legendary Rarity)

Hunter Dragon is placed

That provides the following buff (Element is based on Dragon element. Buff shown is of Mythic Rarity or remove the bottom buff for Legendary Rarity)

Warrior Dragon is placed

That provides the following buff (Element is based on Dragon element. Buff shown is of Mythic Rarity or remove the bottom buff for Legendary Rarity)

Limitation

When a perch is below level 30, it will not provide the full buffs. A percentage of its overall buff will be used until the player has upgraded the perch to level 30. The message that would appear on the Perch > Rider is:

"Buff on this Rider has reduced to 53.3% (This can be any %). Keep upgrading perch to level 30 to get full buff!"

Like what is explained on the Base Buff, if there is a dragon rider providing a higher base buff, they are used instead of the other dragon rider's buff. This only pertains to a certain buff so it doesn't mean that if a single buff is grayed out, the dragon rider itself becomes useless.

This is what will show when a buff is grayed out

If you tap the icon, it will display you the following information below:

This would mean that one of your other dragon rider is applying the buff at a higher rate than the dragon rider that you are viewing.
